Thank you @leoniefian for managing our EnvPsy Vienna communication channels up until now and belated online congratulations on the completion of your PhD!
We wish you all the best for your postdoctoral research at the Institute of Environmental Systems Sciences at Uni Graz.🎓‬‬

Proudly presenting the "EnvPsy Vienna 2024 Wrap-Up" 🎀

We are really excited to show you our year in numbers. Thanks for following along and all the best for 2025!

Our findings just got published in Journal of Risk Research and you can read more here: https://doi.org/10.1080/13669877.2024.2431900

Huge thanks to my co-authors Lena Schmidlechner, Ulrike Felt, Thilo Hofmann, Mathew White and @SabinePahl.

Systemic changes on the regulatory level were called for, and we identified relevant conditions for #policy acceptance. Bottom line: more needs to be done to systematically include involved groups in solution-finding initiatives! ♻️👥
We conducted interviews with individuals involved in harvesting, production, packaging & distribution, as well as consumers & policy makers. 🗣️
Participants expressed concerns about human health risks & felt powerless in the face of the current unavoidability of (micro-)plastics.
New paper (& my 1st PhD paper) 📢
“I would even find it almost liberating if certain things were simply no longer allowed.” 🚫
Curious what different groups involved in the ‘farm-to-fork’ food chain think about #microplastics in the human food chain & potential solutions? 🥬🥩🧃 (1/4)
Concerned about eating microplastics? 🌮🥤 @leoniefian presented her newest study at at #IAPS2024 on the public’s perceptions of #microplastics in the food chain, which individual factors predict #riskperception and #policysupport in that context, and what it has to do with #climatechange.

From a public health perspective, it is therefore important to both create greener neighbourhoods and natural recreation areas, and to ensure that they are accessible and used, especially by socio-economically disadvantaged groups. 🌿

New paper! 📣

Austrian data (N = 2300) suggests that the link between #nature contact and #wellbeing is consistently stronger for people on lower than higher incomes. In fact, poorer individuals who visited several times a week had well-being levels nearly as high as the richest.

Interestingly, these patterns were only found for actively visiting nature, but not for the amount of greenness around people’s homes. In other words, what people did, appeared more important than where they lived 🔍

A bit late to the party, but we'd like to present you our year in numbers. Thanks for following along and all the best for 2024!
